閱讀B:

The majority of successful senior managers do not closely follow the classical rational model of first clarifying goals,assessing the problem,formulating options,estimating likelihoods of success,making a decision,and only then taking action to implement the decision.Rather,in their day-by-day tactical maneuvers,these senior executives rely on what is vaguely termed“intuition”to manage a network of interrelated problems that require them to deal with ambiguity,inconsistency,novelty,and surprise;and to integrate action into the process of thinking.

Generations of writers on management have recognized that some practicing managers rely heavily on intuition.In general,however,such writers display a poor grasp of what intuition is.Some see it as the opposite of rationality;others view it as an excuse for capriciousness.

Isenberg’s recent research on the cognitive processes of senior managers reveals that managers’intuition is neither of these.Rather,senior managers use intuition in at least five distinct ways.First,they intuitively sense when a problem exists.Second,managers rely on intuition to perform well-learned behavior patterns rapidly.This intuition is not arbitrary or irrational,but is based on years of painstaking practice and hands-on experience that build skills.A third function of intuition is to synthesize isolated bits of data and practice into an integrated picture,often in an“Aha!”experience.Fourth,some managers use intuition as a check on the results of more rational analysis.Most senior executives are familiar with the formal decision analysis models and tools,and those who use such systematic methods for reaching decisions are occasionally leery of solutions suggested by these methods which run counter to their sense of the correct course of action.Finally,managers can use intuition to bypass in-depth analysis and move rapidly to engender a plausible solution.Used in this way,intuition is an almost instantaneous cognitive process in which a manager recognizes familiar patterns.

One of the implications of the intuitive style of executive management is that“thinking”is inseparable from acting.Since managers often“know”what is right before they can analyze and explain it,they frequently act first and explain later.Analysis is inextricably tied to action in thinking/acting cycles,in which managers develop thoughts about their companies and organizations not by analyzing a problematic situation and then acting,but by acting and analyzing in close concert.

Given the great uncertainty of many of the management issues that they face,senior managers often instigate a course of action simply to learn more about an issue.They then use the results of the action to develop a more complete understanding of the issue.One implication of thinking/acting cycles is that action is often part of defining the problem,not just of implementing the solution.

1、Which of the following best describes the organization of the first paragraph of the text?

A.An assertion is made and a specific supporting example is given.

B.A conventional model is dismissed and an alternative introduced.

C.The results of recent research are introduced and summarized.

D.Two opposing points of view are presented and evaluated.

參考答案：B

參考解析：本題是一道段落結(jié)構(gòu)題。第一句話(huà)中的“do not”和第二句句首的“rather”是破解本題的關(guān)鍵。抓住這兩個(gè)關(guān)鍵就可以推導(dǎo)出本題的正確選項(xiàng)應(yīng)該是B?？忌诮忸}時(shí)一定要注意表示否定的詞語(yǔ)以及表示啟承轉(zhuǎn)合的詞語(yǔ)，更要注意句子之間的相互關(guān)系。

A.Manager X analyzes first and then acts;Manager Y does not.

B.Manager X checks possible solutions to a problem by systematic analysis;Manager Y does not.

C.Manager X takes action in order to arrive at the solution to a problem;Manager Y does not.

D.Manager Y draws on years of hands-on experience in creating a solution to a problem;Manager X does not.

Americans are getting ready for the biggest soccer event in the world.For the first time the world cup soccer competition will be held in the United States.While millions play the game around the world,soccer or football has only recently become popular here.It is only in the last 30 years that large numbers of young Americans became interested in soccer.Now it is the fastest growing sport in the country.A recent study found that almost 18 million young boys and girls play soccer in the United States.

The study also found that soccer is beginning to replace more traditional games like American football as the most popular sport among students.And so,when the world cup begins next week,more than one million Americans are expected to go and see the teams play.Organizers say this year's world cup will be the biggest ever.All the seats at most of the 52 games have already been sold.

Soccer has been played in the United States for a little more than one hundred years.But how did the sport come to this country?And how long has it existed in other parts of the world?No one knows exactly where the idea for soccer came from,or when people began playing the game.Some scientists say there is evidence that ball games using the feet were played thousands of years ago.There is evidence that ancient Greeks and Romans and native American Indians all played games sim-ilar to soccer.

Most experts agree that Britain is the birthplace of modem soccer.They also agree that the British spread the game around the world.Unlike the game today,which uses balls of man-made material or leather,early soccer balls were often made of animal stomachs.The rules of early soccer games also differed from those we have today.

閱讀D：

Students of United States history,seeking to identify the circumstances that encouraged the emergence of feminist movements,have thoroughly investigated the mid-nineteenth-century American economic and social condition that affected the status of women.These historians,however,have analyzed less fully the development of specifically feminist ideas and activities during the same period.Furthermore,the ideological origins of feminism in the United State have been obscured because,even when historians did take into account those feminist ideas and activities occurring within the United States,they failed to recognize that feminism was then a truly international movement actually centered in Europe.American feminist activists who have been described as“solitary”and“individual theorists”were in reality connected to a movement—utopian socialism—which was already popularizing feminist ideas in Europe during the two decades that culminated in the first women’s rights conference held at Seneca Falls,New York,in 1848.Thus,a complete understanding of the origins and development of nineteenth-century feminism in the United States requires that the geographical focus be widened to include Europe and that the detailed study already made of social conditions be expanded to include the ideological development of feminism.

The earliest and most popular of the utopian socialists were the Saint-Simonians.The specifically feminist part of Saint-Simonianism has,however,been less studied than the group’s contribution to early socialism.This is regrettable on two counts.By 1832 feminism was the central concern of Saint-Simonianism and entirely absorbed its adherents’energy;hence,by ignoring its feminism,European historians have misunderstood Saint-Simonianism.Moreover,since many feminist ideas can be traced to saint-simonianism European historians’appreciation of later feminism in France and the United States remained limited.

Saint-Simon’s followers,many of whom were women,based their feminism on an interpretation of his project to reorganize the globe by replacing brute force with the rule of spiritual powers.The new world order would be ruled together by a male,to represent reflection,and a female,to represent sentiment.This complementarity reflects the fact that,while the Saint-Simonians did not reject the belief that there were innate differences between men and women,they nevertheless foresaw an equally important social and political role for both sexes in their utopia.

Only a few Saint-Simonians opposed a definition of sexual equality based on gender distinction.This minority believe that individuals of both sexes were born similar in capacity and character,and they ascribed male-female differences to socialization and education.The envisioned result of both currents of thought,however,was that women would enter public life in the new age and that sexual equality would reward men as well as women with an improved way of life.

1、The author mentions all of the following as characteristic of the Saint-Simonians EXCEPT

A.The group included many women among its members.

B.The group believed in a world that would be characterized by sexual equality.

C.The group was among the earliest European socialist groups.

D.Most members believed that women and men were inherently similar in ability and character.

參考答案：D

參考解析：這是一道歸納推導(dǎo)題。但是本題的題干確沒(méi)有明確給出本題在原文中的準(zhǔn)確信息來(lái)源。這時(shí)考生就會(huì)迷失答題思路。請(qǐng)同學(xué)們一定要記?。好慨?dāng)自己迷失答題思路時(shí)，一定要多想一想全文的中心主旨句和每段的主題句，這會(huì)幫助考生尋找到解題的思路。本題的正確答案應(yīng)該是D，因?yàn)檫x項(xiàng)D所表達(dá)的內(nèi)容和本文尾段第一、二句所表達(dá)的內(nèi)容相反。選項(xiàng)A、B、C的內(nèi)容分別在第三段第一句、第三段第二句以及第二段首句涉及。考生在解題時(shí)一定要牢記段落主題句。

2、It can be inferred that the author consider those historians who describe early feminists in the United States as“solitary”to be

A.insufficiently familiar with the international origins of nineteenth-century American feminist thought.

B.overly concerned with the regional diversity of feminist ideas in the period before 1848.

C.not focused narrowly enough in their geographical scope.

D.insufficiently aware of the ideological consequences of the Seneca Falls conference.

參考答案：A

參考解析：本題是一道標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)題。通過(guò)本題題干中的“solitary”一詞可將本題的答案信息中心確定在第一段第十行即第一段第四句話(huà)，通過(guò)仔細(xì)閱讀和理解本句話(huà)以及本句前后的兩句話(huà)，可以得出本題的正確選項(xiàng)A。其實(shí)美國(guó)的女權(quán)主義運(yùn)動(dòng)者并不“孤單”(solitary)，因?yàn)樗齻兊乃枷牒托袆?dòng)是和歐洲大陸的女權(quán)主義者有著千絲萬(wàn)縷的聯(lián)系，是國(guó)際女權(quán)運(yùn)動(dòng)的一部分?？忌诮忸}時(shí)要善于理解標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)，更要善于對(duì)原文的細(xì)節(jié)進(jìn)行推導(dǎo)。

參考解析：這是一道反推題。通過(guò)本題題干中的“most Saint-Simonians”可將本題的答案信息來(lái)源迅速確定在尾段的第一句。根據(jù)尾段第一句進(jìn)行反推即逆向思維，可得出本題的正確答案是B?？忌诮忸}時(shí)一定要時(shí)時(shí)牢記反推題型，并且經(jīng)常利用自己的逆向思維能力。

4、The author’s attitude toward European historians who have studied the Saint-Simonians is primarily one of

A.approval of the specific focus of their research.

B.disapproval of their lack of attention to the issue that absorbed most of the Saint-Simonians’energy after 1832.

C.approval of their general focus on social conditions.

D.disapproval of their lack of attention to links between the Saint-Simonians and their American counterparts.

參考答案：B

參考解析：本題是一道細(xì)節(jié)推導(dǎo)題。根據(jù)本題題干中的“European historians”可將本題的答案信息來(lái)源迅速確定在第二段第四句，通過(guò)閱讀本句分號(hào)前后的內(nèi)容，可以推導(dǎo)出作者的態(tài)度是否定的，其否定原因是第二段第四句分號(hào)前半部分所表達(dá)的內(nèi)容。本題的正確答案應(yīng)該是B?？忌诮忸}時(shí)一定要注意原文細(xì)節(jié)的推導(dǎo)，尤其是分句之間存在因果關(guān)系的時(shí)候。

Why I Like Learning English

1.The main reasons for learning English;

2.The main methods of learning English.

1.學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)的主要原因;

2.學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)的主要方法。

參考范文：

English as a global language is more and more widely used by people around the globe.About one third of the world citizens speak English,about half TV programs are broadcasted in English,and the International conferences are all held with this language.Needless to say,English is quite important and we can’t communicate or contact with the outside world without it.

From where I stand,to learn English well,you can choose the following methods.The fundamental method can be recite adequate amount of vocabulary and read enough articles of different topics which can be a bit harder than your present level.Then I’d like to recommend some media to help you learn better.Listening materials like VOA or BBC,Reading materials like Reader’s digest or NY times,music and movies all can do your great favor.That’s my views on English learning.

參考譯文：

英語(yǔ)作為一種全球性的語(yǔ)言，越來(lái)越被世界各地的人們所使用。大約三分之一的世界公民講英語(yǔ)，大約一半的電視節(jié)目是用英語(yǔ)播送的，國(guó)際會(huì)議都用這種語(yǔ)言舉行。不用說(shuō)，英語(yǔ)是非常重要的，沒(méi)有它，我們就無(wú)法與外界交流或聯(lián)系。

從我所處的位置，為了學(xué)好英語(yǔ)，你可以選擇以下方法。基本的方法是背誦足夠數(shù)量的詞匯和閱讀足夠多的不同主題的文章，這比你現(xiàn)在的水平要難一些。那么我想推薦一些媒體來(lái)幫助你更好地學(xué)習(xí)。收聽(tīng)美國(guó)之音或英國(guó)廣播公司的資料，閱讀《讀者文摘》或紐約時(shí)報(bào)的資料，音樂(lè)和電影都能幫你大忙。這就是我對(duì)英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)的看法。
